A lesion of bone identical to the central giant cell granuloma and called a brown tumor occurs in patients with what type of disease?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A brown tumor is a lesion of bone that occurs in patients with hyperparathyroidism. It is identical to the central giant cell granuloma in appearance but occurs in the context of a metabolic bone disease caused by excessive parathyroid hormone production. This can lead to increased bone resorption and the formation of these tumors, which can be a sign of advanced disease. Peripheral giant cell granuloma and peripheral ossifying granuloma are unrelated conditions that do not involve the bones. Hypothyroidism is also not directly linked to the formation of brown tumors.
